Kebab Karthoutsos
KEBAB $
( 24310 38084; Ioulietas Adam 5; mains €3-6)
This long-standing place, handy to Plateia
Riga Fereou, grills a great pork kebab (served on paper),
horta
(wild greens), feta and
local wine, all for around €10 per head.
Taverna Palia Istoria
TAVERNA $
( 24319 77627; Ypsilanti 3; mains €7-13.50)
If businessmen are anything to go by, this is a
popular place for its grills served with cream and mustard sauces...but it can also put a
slightly gourmet twist on tradition with the likes of
Salata Cleopatra
(salad with figs,
pine nuts and balsamic vinegar; €6).
Drinking & Nightlife
On weekend nights, the idea in Trikala seems to be to tank up on coffee along Asklipiou
until midnight, then cross the bridge to the humming Manavika district for mojitos,
mezedhes and music. This three-block maze of narrow passageways and outdoor tables
jumps with lamp-lit music bars, small
ouzeries
and all-night cafes.
For authentic Greek
rembetika
(blues), follow the locals to
Aparhes Bar
(
24310
75800; Manavika;
Fri & Sat)
, along the riverbank.
